Friday Finds...

I opened the mailbox this afternoon to find one of my favorite sights... a small square envelope wrapped package. A new book! Or in this case a new-to-me book. Which leads me to this week's Friday Finds...

A few weeks ago, after listening to me gush over L. M. Montgomery's The Blue Castle, my friend Veronica took a few minutes to share her latest find, A Weaver of Dreams by Myrtle Reed, a bittersweet story of love lost and love found. We weren't even finished with our conversation before I was online searching for my own copy.

I was pleased to find a copy of this 1911 novel in near mint condition for only $5 (including shipping). Stay tuned for my review, which will probably appear before the end of February.

Is your copy also lavender with gilt? I think it's one of the prettiest books I own, even though mine has major foxing on the pages and is misshapen because of water damage. It was my grandmother's, so it's valuable to me despite it's condition. :D

This book seems appealing to me. I am going to check it out of the library...must go and put it on TBR list.
